Tekkit Combustion Engine cooling with auto shutoff

Keeping your combustion engines cool is the #1 top priority when running them, there are several ways to go about doing this and several good posts online that describe how to make sure they are supplied with water. Some are simple setups with a pump hooked directly to the engine constantly pumping the water in, others are more advanced setups with "or" gates and other ways to tell when the engine is getting water or not.

I originally had the engine hooked up to an Aqueous Accumulator pumping directly into the engine and this seemed to work well but I noticed that when I turned my back the engine would heat up. Especially if i ventured out a few chunks from the engine.

Tekkit Introduction


So I have been playing Minecraft a lot lately and figured I would post a little bit of what I have been up to.

I downloaded the Tekkit mods recently and have dove head first into it. At first it was a little overwhelming with all these new recipes, new machines, new everything. But I used my vanilla Minecraft skills to start building a house and collecting the basic supplies and before I knew it I was already loving the new features that came with the mod.
